Giorgio Armani Bronze Mania 2009

A journey on the wild coastline of Italy. Giorgio Armani Bronze Mania 2009 is all about a sensual and natural summer dress code. The collection features sun-splashed, explosive mineral face colors and radiant Mediterranean eye shades.

Melted together into a fine Microfil texture, this palette is a unique tapestry of sun-splashed colors. Like a picture taken from the sky, the sun-infused palette earth tones (Venetian ochre, deep Sienna red and sandy copper) present an all-over blush for a golden bronze/deep reddish-brown glow. (Sienna Minerals Palette has a suggested retail price of $65)
